Sport
and homosexuality,
towards a sport
more inclusive
Context
Although sport conveys values of fraternity and respect, a recent study showed that around 1 in 2 French people have witnessed homophobic or transphobic behavior in the sporting environment*. As a result, LGBT+ sportspeople are becoming less visible, resorting to strategies of concealment and avoidance, stopping their sporting activities or even fearing sport altogether.
How can we make sports clubs more inclusive, especially when it comes to LGBT+ members? How can we train managers, supervisors and referees to adopt a benevolent attitude, and know how to act and react when faced with homophobia in their club or on the pitch? How can they identify sports facilities that have been trained to welcome homosexuals?
The sessions will be led by Jérôme Mouly and Clark Massad, accompanied by PWC (partner of Paris 2024) represented by Charline Brot and Jose-Carlos Flores, who will support us in the facilitation and assist with the institutional rendering.

CPSF
The French Paralympic and Sports Committee (Comité Paralympique et Sportif Français – CPSF), an association governed by the law of July1, 1901, is the body of the sports movement that represents, leads and coordinates all the players involved in providing a range of leisure and competitive sports for people with disabilities. The CPSF has a twofold mission: to build up and manage the French Paralympic Team, and to lead, coordinate and represent all CPSF member sports federations, with the aim of developing sporting activities for people with disabilities.
After fifteen years working for the French Handisport Federation, where I was responsible for the socio-professional follow-up of top-level athletes, I went back to school to do a PhD in the sociology of sport, with the CPSF and the Sport, Expertise, Performance research laboratory. Today, as a doctoral student, I am in charge of research and ethics and integrity for the CPSF.
